Sweatin

I'm talking about the message. What it stands for
It's called "gentrification"
It's what happens when property value of a certain area is brought down
You listening? - Yeah
They bring the property value down. They can buy the land cheaper
Then they move the people out, raise the value and sell it at a profit
What we need to do is keep everything in our neighbourhood, everything, black
Black-owned with black money
Just like the Jews, the Italians, the Mexicans and the Koreans do
Ain't nobody from outside bringing down the property value
It's these folk!
Shooting each other and selling that crack rock and shit
How you think crack gets into the country?
We don't own any planes. We don't own no ships
We are not the people who are flying and floating that shit in here
Every time you turn on a TV, that's what you see
Black people selling the rock, pushing the rock. Yeah, I know
It wasn't a problem when it was here
Wasn't a problem until it was in Iowa...
And on Wall Street where there's hardly any black people
If you want to talk about guns
Why is it that there's a gun shop on every corner here?
Why? - I'll tell you why
Just like there's a liquor store on every corner in the black community
Why? They want us to kill ourselves
You go out to Beverly Hills, you don't see that shit
They want to us to kill ourselves
The best way to destroy a people is to take away their ability to reproduce
Who is it that's dying out here on these streets every night? Y'all
Yeah. - Young brothers like yourselves
What am I supposed to do? Fool roll up, try to smoke me?
I'm gonna shoot the motherfucker if he don't kill me first
You doing exactly what they want you to do
You have to think, young brother, about your future

Life not fair cause of these nightmares
I wake up sweatin
Look like a pool what I stepped in
Gotta stop stressin, keep on acceptin all my blessings
House on the hills is what I'm projectin
Use to be scared tuh check my checkins
Now I'm spendin my bag investin
From the rejections learned the most lessons
Negative vibes,I keep on suppressin
Checks I'm signin, the haters don't mind'em
A nigga been grindin so I keep on progressin
Money on my mind and time is the essence
Some of my niggas ain't gettin the message
People like tic tac toe, got the o's and exes
Cross one of mine you'll be cleaning up messes
You touch one mines you must gotta deathwish
I'm high in sky I feel like the jetsons
Fuck yo advice I ain't takin suggestions
Knew I was chosen since my adolescence
When shit got real they ran for the exits
I see opportunities I break thru the entrance
Man of my city you know I got methods
My plate come first these niggas get seconds
Born with some flaws but these raps i perfect this
I grew up in trenches no white picket fences
Trigga get squeezed fore you finish ya sentence
It took one night then I knew crystal meth is
Right on that corner it tends to get reckless
Fiends up early they just lookin for breakfast
Tryna stay safe got the cross on my Necklace
Stay in the right blocks and fit in like Tetris
No MTA I got low inna le...
Got 2 bros Im praying god Protect us
No brotherly love, this loyalty's endless
Read between the lines cause niggas get jealous
Watching my pockets like that shit is Netflix
No one to trust So fuck all the friendships
All ah the doubts just made me relentless
Bad lil vibe she obsessed with my presence
Hit it so good she think she expecting
After we fuck she hit me questions
I don't gotta answer I'm throwing out guesses
Ride or die bitch that is my preference
She got ha own bag that's real independence
The weed all I need and ah little affection
I'm Too busy working I haven't been restin
(Been working my ass off)
We livin this life
Nothing is promised ain't nothing forever
Smokin these chronics its bringing me pleasure
ain't living right but I never been better
But to be honest I know that I got it
A tiny endeavor
I'm not being modest
I'm takin my cheddar
Show me the products I'm profiting extra
Will I fall off?
Probably never

I'm goin in
Back on my bullshit I did it again
Hoping that this is not how it ends
Life is a bitch she ain't makin no friends
My loyalty sturdy it never bends
Some friendships were severed for sense
Ima big stepper I leave elephant prints
Young and too fresh I feel like the prince
She loving my vibe I'm cooler than mints
I'm woke in this bitch like ah devil fruit
Greed for the guap thats the devil food
You far from bein on my level dude
Don't listen to the shit they be telling you
Just stick to plan and execute
I'm takin these M's like W's
Always pull through right on cue
Hop inna Stu you know what we do (You know what we do)
Cookin this beat like homemade food
We high too that's the Stone Age crew
Bitches like birds I tell em tuh shoo
Don't fuck with vibe when I'm not in the mood
Always on point like Jordan with flu
She grab on my wood Like my name is Groot
Don of my city they say that im Cruel
Up every night in need for some Fuel
She blow me in class the lessons on flute
Don't remember my past ain't leaving ah clue
Absolute steppin
Brand what we reppin
None of these niggas could fill in our shoes
I got em confused when I walk in the room
Too all of the doubts I'm feeling immune
With my own mind I'm always in tune
We live in the city want stars on the roof
Making the wave Just like the moon
Yeah yeah, you know that's a fact
Gimme a second I'm comin right back
All of my hobbies is fillin the void
Just gimme my trees when Im gettin annoyed
Make me and M and I share with boyz
Planted the seeds and grew out the soil
Always been solid they folding like foil
I'm outta here

Life not fair cause of these nightmares
I wake up sweatin
Look like a pool what I stepped in
Gotta stop stressin keep on acceptin all my blessings
House on the hills is what I'm projectin
Use to be scared tuh check my checkins
Now I'm spendin my bag investin
From the rejections learned the most lessons
